[Chelsea8]

Hope it goes well and if it does you should set it as a challenge

[samhardy]

Good luck and remember to keep us updated

[Jayze]

Yeh tbf it's gone a bit pair shaped :/ the squad just isnt up to it so what im going to do is buy a squad of 18 year olds and nurture them into a Treble winning side

[samhardy]

Good luck with that

Dennis Viollet was born in Manchester and died in Jacksonville, so Donovan wouldn't be a player from his home town, I'm not sure about the rest though.

[William]

What you should do is find out the position of those who sadly died. Then release those players and find yourself having to re build the team as United had to, and to make it harder, have a small transfer budget, like £5-6 million to get 10 or so players.

On topic though - RIP
